A painter who caught headlines for 'purposely distorting' an image of President Donald Trump says her business may never recover.

Sarah Boardman, the British painter who made a portrait of Trump to be hung in the ColoradoCapitol, has lifted the lid on how her business has been pummeled after the Republican posted a furious response to her work.

'Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves, but the one in Colorado, in the State Capitol, put up by the Governor, along with all other Presidents, was purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before,' Trump said of Boardman's work last month.

'The artist also did President Obama, and he looks wonderful, but the one on me is truly the worst,' the Republican continued.

'She must have lost her talent as she got older,' the 78-year-old president added.

The day after the president's fiery response to the artwork, which was hanging in the state capitol for six years, the portrait was removed and placed in storage.

The portrait was first unveiled in 2019 during Trump's first stint in the White House.

For the first time since the removal of her work, Boardman has spoken out about the financial ramifications of her high-profile painting getting ripped by MAGA supporters across the country.

In a statement provided to Sky News, Boardman admitted that she feels her integrity and intentions have been 'called into question' and that her business 'is in danger of not recovering.'
